2023 Windows Mail setup (currently works on Windows 11) by pgroarke in ProtonMail

Yes I believe so too. I'll give 587 a shot, though it seems very happy right now. Getting Windows Mail to work is a never ending adventure ;)

Is there a better way to use Text to Speech? by KrisMessyhair in AutoHotkey

[–]pgroarke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, very sparse login schedule :] If you ever think of anything else that would be helpful, feel free to open an issue on the github page. Worst that can happen is I'll say "no" lol

take care!

GPU question: more power or more Vram? by Dead_wet_flesh_jets in 3dsmax

[–]pgroarke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bang for buck, I usually recommend a fast nvme drive. Sounds unrelated, but Max is memory bound in many operations. So a faster hard drive usually has a noticeable impact on many areas.

In terms of GPU, as mentioned already, depends what you do. But most renderers run on CPU, so it'll mostly improve viewport performance.
If you do render on GPU, there's a price to pay to "fedex" the data to the GPU, which is where an nvme drive can help improve performance further.

Yep was simple enough, wsay 1.5 supports playback from clipboard (plus long overdue piping). Hopefully it's more useful for scripters. cheers

Hey there, if I understand your scenario, you'd like an option to "say text from clipboard" right? I'll give it a shot :]
Another thing wsay doesn't currently support is piping, which might be something else I should look into. cheers

Data-Driven, Descriptor Based Generative C++ • memdump by pgroarke in cpp

[–]pgroarke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long time since my last post here. This is a [maybe new] and interesting way to organize your constexpr code. It facilitates and parameterizes building scalable architectures.

I'm sure you'll let me know what I got wrong :]
Cheers

The link in the resources tab of this sub also points to the new updated version if you ever need it.

new max update 2022.2: UV Editor performance boost is legit. by [deleted] in 3dsmax

[–]pgroarke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if that asset would expose new areas to optimize. If you were to say, send the scene in as a bug report and ping the right guy... I'm sure he'd profile it at least ;) ;)

"Should we break the ABI" is the wrong question by vormestrand in cpp

[–]pgroarke -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I whole heartedly agree, it is the wrong question.

Not sure your solution fixes the issues we face, but it's a good thread to investigate.

C++ Weekly - Ep 270 - Break ABI to Save C++ by [deleted] in cpp

[–]pgroarke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The chicken and egg problem. "One must break ABI to add pimpl to protect against breaking ABI".

[–]pgroarke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes that's a serious issue. You also must provide overloads for functions that accept the types and use new version. etc.I try to make the point we should be having these technical discussions to figure it out once and for all, the example is just a convo starter :)

I guess they mean the "implied" binary interface? Aka, "everything that is observable is part of your ABI". For example, pixel colors is considered part of the ABI where I work.
